Love the T.J McDonald and Lattimore picks in the 4th and 5th rounds. Could be 2 potential steals there if Latty's knee holds up. Great value. But instead of Margus Hunt I would prob draft TE Ertz from Stanford if hes available. We have been missing a big physical TE for some time now and I think he would open things up for the run and passing game. Good draft overall though.

I love it. If only for the fact it is an actually 1st round mock. Great work. Putting Datone Jones in there is the only thing a would suggest. Out side of that I am just so happy to see an actual mock I'll be happy with it.

What I found to be tough this year in doing my full mock--

There's lot of OT/CB needy teams this year (what else is new), but once those tier 1 guys are gone? The value's all D-line/OLBs... which happens to be the positions some of those teams are reasonably well stocked at... so it made for some tough decisions.

Don't see Margus Hunt fitting in here, positional wise and style wise comparable to Coples. 3-4 End that thrives rushing the A gap. We have bigger needs at pass rusher at WR.

Truthfully, I need to watch McDonald closer. I know he's got issues, but i wouldn't go as far as garbage.

As far as Hunt goes, I have the samething to say to that as I do with Floyd. We are MUCH shorter on bodies for the Dline that people think we are. Coples and Mo are it. The jury is still out on Ellis and everyone else are JAGs. To me, Hunt was a value pick.

(ps. don't sleep on Sinkfield. he could be the answer!)

do you see hunt playing OLB? he's huge but he's got really good agility and explosion and probably could do it. I like him as a prospect mainly because I think he's a freak and he'll also block a ton of kicks... he's only played football for 2 years and is the #2 all time NCAA leader in blocked kicks

Until Volmer signs anything, NE has a need at RT.

Even if Hunt pans out where is he playing? He's a DE in our system, and we don't run 4 man line sets. He's also 25 years old, and the time we're competing he'll be 28. Scares me a lot. Boom/bust guy.

Decent draft. You obviously done quite a bit of thinking here unlike some other mocks. Margus Hunt pick is interesting, I might go for another OLB here but his explosion and power off the line is hard to ignore. Very agile too for such a big guy. The only issue I have is with Lattimore, his injury will likely sit him for a year - I prefer picking up the explosive Knile Davis as a high speed battering ram. Sinkfield pick could be an inspired choice. He's like lightning but for such a fast guy he apparently has decent route running and hands. Overall, a good draft.

Fair analysis. Hunt is a pick based on potential. He has playmaker written all over him - just get him on the field - kind of mentality.

I'm telling you guys, Sinkfield's tape suggests the kid's gonna ball in the pros. I loved what I saw. Adjusts to the ball, out muscles Corners, runs good routes, plays the outside like a man... I'm sold!
